- Hi Tomodachis!
Today we are trying our hand at more Malaysian cooking! After watching the Uncle Roger video "Uncle Roger ROASTED BY CELEBRITY CHEF (ft. Chef Wan)" By mrnigelng and a video of Chef Wan making Nyonya Laksa with Anna Olson, we decided were are going to try cooking a Malaysian food staple - an authentic Nyonya Laksa recipe on our home cooking podcast ! This recipe has a fragrant paste of lemongrass, galangal, chilies and shallots blended together with a soup base of coconut milk and laksa leaves served with clams, shrimp and fish balls, which is a wonderful combination indeed! Definitely flavors to awaken the inner foodie!
This popular dish in Malaysia has so many variations in the laksa soup recipe, and we are excited to try out even more in the future.
From BBC Foods to Jamie Oliver, Nat's what I reckon, Kays cooking and Gordon Ramsay - and most recently Kent Rollins' Egg Fried Rice, we always love exploring the foods of the world! Tune in for another Taiwanese and Japanese reaction!
Without further ado, let's start the cooking video!

You guys are good chef too 👍 not so many people can cook that cause it took so much time , ingredient and passion.
Thank you so much!
We love learning about global food cultures, and we are always happy to hear from everyone!
The lime not just for deco. Press the juice into the laksa soup. It will elevate the flavour even more it will make your eyes pops open. Hats off to you for making this nyonya laksa.
Oh yes, we squeezed some onto the soup afterwards and just like you described, our eyes popped open! Thank you for the suggestion and tuning in!
It looks authentic. Impressive effort for First-Timers.👍 Chef Wan would have been proud...👏👏👏
Thank you so much! There were a few ingredients we were unfamiliar with, but everything came together really nicely. We hope we can try Chef Wan's food one day!
I've been wanting to make my own laksa nyonya for years now but haven't done so because it's quite tedious to make it, and for you guys to nail it the first time around, I'm impressed. Kudos for giving our cuisine justice.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We know how iconic of a dish it is so we wanted to be respectful and make it as well as we could!
Thumbs up on a job well done! You guys always try to recreate the dishes as true as to its natural flavour! And the reward is priceless! Really glad that you like the flavour of the laksa. Both of you will definitely have a good time if you ever visit Malaysia! 👍😁
Thank you so much!
We want to be respectful and also we want to taste the authentic flavor especially for beloved dishes. We are absolutely loving how wonderful they turn out. We definitely would have a blast trying all the beautiful food in Malaysia!
Omg 😂 my friend i think you can start selling Malaysia laksa in Japan.. keep it up👍👏🤞
Haha, it would be a lot of hard work to do this everyday! But it is so tasty! Thank you for tuning in!
Now it's 12am in Malaysia & you guys make me hungry
Sorry to make you hungry!
Hopefully you can have a little snack...
Thanks for tuning in!
@@TomodachiTable If you’re making them hungry, it means you’re preparing it well, so don’t be sorry! :-)
Hahahahaha same here feel like having my supper now🤩🤩😍😍😋😋
Very well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It looks so authentic. Not an easy dish to make, even in Malaysia... So proud of u guys! 👍👍
Thank you so much! This was maybe our most challenging dish so far.
We hope that we can eat the real deal in Malaysia once things have settled down!
Man, those look tastier than what I usually buy here in Malaysia! I need to make my own laksa as well 😋
You are much too kind! We had a lot of fun making and eating this - we are sure you will have a much easier time finding all the ingredients!
Thanks for the comment!
I like "what, how you guys can put it of? " man, i seriously surprise the out come of recreation the laksa that you guys make... Tahniah, guys for your efforts.. PS : Tahniah means Congratulations in Bahasa Malaysia....
Thank you so much!
We are so grateful that everyone is always so helpful in the comments!
@@TomodachiTable yeah... Good thing alot of youtuber willing to help you guys... 😁
We are so glad! We have learned so much from everyone.
@@TomodachiTable maybe you guy can finally open a small stall and sell laksa in japan... 😂
We can compete with the uncles selling ramen 😂🤣
You will feel like a king especially when you eat laksa in the morning. The best laksa in the world must be full of umami flavor with the richness of the coconut cream and last but not least, flavors and herbs in the end of your taste buds from all those fresh ingredients blended together
Your description perfectly captures how we felt! The umami from the seafood, the coconut cream and the fresh herbal flavors are pure magic!
Thank you for tuning in!
You guys did well 😁🇲🇾
Thank you so much! We are glad we made a big pot of it!
I would love to see you guys share you're food with friends and vlog it..
Hopefully we can do that one of these days! Thanks for the suggestion!
i love the way you are so happy to eat the soup
Soup is one of the best comforts on a cold day! Thanks again Linda!
I've never seen your table that full :D
Looks so delicious :D
You remade it very good :D
Haha it was almost overflowing with ingredients! It was a challenge but very tasty!
Thanks again 😊
Haha i think only south east asian food ingredients can fill up the biggest table japan has ever made😂🤣
The shrimp paste in Chef Wan’s video is actually not shrimp but krill. It is usually dried under the sun and turns into golden-like colour and taste quite salty and fishy.
It has a distinctive flavour which compliments the overall creamy taste by the coconut milk, spiciness from chillies, and aromatic from the spices. And additional sweet & sour flavour from the calamansi/lime.
We think we used the correct kind of krill to make our paste in (1:37) They are quite small and dry with a salty and fishy flavor. We soaked them in some hot water so their color became a bit washed out but they added an incredible flavor to the dish! The lime was also such a wonderful balance to the dish as a whole!
Thank you for sharing such a detailed insight!
Tomodachi Table
Yup I think that’s the right one. Just want to make sure u guys get the authentic taste as the original version. Really enjoy & appreciate your efforts to recreate our local delicacies. Let’s pray for this pandemic to end and we would welcome you guys to Malaysia to enjoy our country especially foods.
Btw, there are several versions of laksa depending on the regions/states and this version is usually pretty uncommon in Malaysia tho 😅
Impressive! You guys even made the prawn stock from the prawn shells. I am a lazy person I just use chicken stock from the box 😂
Haha well we had a lot of prawns shells so we might as well have used them, thanks!
I'm malaysian brother. Your laksa is legit.
Thanks so much! We really respect the people that make Laksa daily- it is a lot of work!
8:21 not just different laksa stand, but different version of laksa..different states has its own laksa version
The variations are endless :D
You guys can also try to cook nasi lemak for breakfast. Its very common here in Malaysia, and even stalls sells this. U can choose the side dish to make it more variety but a simple one will only consists of sambal, (chillies), anchovies, cucumber and egg. Give it a try
We definitely must try making a delicious nasi lemak for breakfast one of these days! Thank you for the serving suggestions too!
Well done and look delicious. Next time try make asam laksa 😍 ~from malaysia
Asam Laksa sounds really tasty! We will do some research on it for sure! Thank you for the suggestion!
Sending out greetings from Tokyo!
I discover your channel and Chef Wan's existence thanks to Uncle Roger and I'm obsess with his recipes and you making them. Usually people that aren't asian in any way, we feel really intimidated when facing the posibility to try and make an asian dish (yes, I know, so weak, so weak, where's my courage 🤣?), but I love asian cooking and the flavors that came with it, so watching you recreate the recipes give me the push that I need to get the ingredients (I live near the Andes in Argentina) and to try as you did 😁 Thanks for sharing this very instructive videos!
i admire your passion!!🤘 Love from Malaysia🇲🇾
Thank you so much! We are having so much fun cooking these traditional foods!
Warmest greetings from Japan!
looks like uncle roger opened a portal introducing malaysian food to the internet world
We are having so much fun learning and cooking Malaysian food too! Thanks for taking a look!
I love nyonya laksa and asam laksa. The ingredients that you all used are correct. So happy to see u all like the laksa
Wow! They look so authentic! I can almost taste it just by looking at it!
Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun cooking this one!
Big respect, so proud of u guys!
Thank you so much! It was challenging but we had so much fun making it!
This looks so good. You guys are amazing!
Thank you so much! We only tried to do the original dish justice!
Kudos guys.... it looks good & by the way you guys are reacting to it, definitely it tastes good yeah? Nyonya laksa is enjoyed by everyone here despite our races. And many other types of laksa too... Laksa Johor, Laksa Assam, Laksa Sarawak...
Cheers from Malaysia...
It was so good! We really enjoyed making it! There are so many kinds of Laksa, but we think we need to try more!
Thanks so much for tuning in and greetings from Tokyo!
Wawww... U two are great(awak berdua hebat) Congratulations (tahniah)...
Thank you so much!
Your laksa really look good
Thank you so much! Chef Wan really has great recipes!
Suddenly staving..
Finally I've been waiting for this keep grinding tomodachi
Thank you Jhon! We had a lot of fun making this Laksa - will keep doing our best!
Wahh you guys really do a good job at researching and finding all the ingredients.. I know it is hard to find those ingredients there but you still manage to find them 👍🏽 most of our dish have complex flavour profiles because it uses many ingredients.. And because we are multicultural, every dish have the mix of ingredients from each culture(indian/malay/chinese)..
u guys are super efficient! so quick u make videos!
We get to excited to try the food lol!
Thanks for always stopping by!
Omg you guys, your soup looks really good! Woooh! 👏 And can we appreciate what a good kitty Luca is for not disturbing you guys with seafood around! 😸😸
Thank you so much! It all smelled so good while we were cooking! We are glad Luca did not try to help himself to all that seafood as well haha!
Great job guys. Looks really authentic👍 Now you know why so many Japanese people live in Malaysia 😊
So true! We are a bit jealous for the people that can get great Laksa everyday!
Thanks for tuning in :D
wow!!you guys really can cook..
Thank you! We try our best!
Oh, you guys also finally made Laksa! It looks mouth-watering, good job! 👍
Yes! Thank you! It was sooooo good! People who can get this easily are so lucky!
Very nice laksa
Thank you so much!
You know guys, both of you such a really a good Chef you know...?
you two should open up an restaurant or small cafe I think.....
With the international food Menu all around the world. U have Chicken Chop, Ramen, Nyonya Laksa, Fried Rice, Thai Green Carry, Tomyam gong, Char Siew Pow, Dumpling and so on...it might be Awesome I thinks.
Malaysia has another type of laksa with a sour base broth ..do try that ..it's delicious..😁
Sour base sounds really good! Was it Laksa Asam? Thank you for the suggestion!
Yes...correct and it's easier to make..not so much spices
We will try it sometime, thanks! Easier is good haha
Actually laksa rice vermicelli much more bigger in size. The small size one we called bihun
We thought so too! But somehow the one in the original video looked very thin - we will use thicker noodles next time! Thank you for the insight!
So happy to see you guys enjoy eating cooking and eating laksa
Thank you for watching! We had a lot of fun making and eating too! But waiting for it to finish cooking was the hardest part!
Wowwwww great....paduuuuuu😘😍
Thank you so much! This was really delicious!
I'm so happy to see both eating laksa. You guys are the very few people in Japan that can cook laksa! In Malaysia we have 4-5 different types of laksa. One of the popular one comes from the state of Sarawak ( my place ). Hope you can try to make Sarawak laksa in future.
Thank you so much for the kind words Robin! We definitely want to Try Sarawak Laksa as well! Thank you for suggesting it!
Thanks for maked the nyonya laksa.. I'm waiting for the daging kerutuk if u guys have plan to do tht recipe ❤️
Thank you for tuning in! We will try to get to Daging Kerutuk as well!
Kudos to both of you. You have the genes of a chef. You did so well without a sample of the real thing. 👍👍
Thank you so much 😀 Chef Wan also had a very good recipe for us to work from! We are sure there are parts we can improve, but we were so glad that it turned out well!
wow
Thank you for watching!
Wow.. it looks so delicious! U are making me to feel hungry again. What a good chef! Congrats to both of you for successfully making it! 😋
Thank you so much! We tried to make it as well as we could!
wow...I can't believe you guys actually did laksa paste from scratch!! normally we just buy pre-made paste and cook. Impressive!
It’s also hard for us to get laksa paste here, so we had to make it from scratch. Thank you for watching! We are glad that it turned out nicely!
@@TomodachiTable is the thai/indonesian market far from where you stay? I'm intrigued where you get your ingredients from... Maybe a special video about that?
Omg you managed to get Laksa leave in Japan? Btw you can also includes other seafoods into that gravy such as scallops or taraba crab to make it expensive and different in future. It will increase umami in the soup. I live in Qatar, the only ingredient that i cant find here is dried tofu hmmm I feel like cooking nyonya laksa too...im drooling now ...
Yea! We were surprised to find it too! Taraba crab laksa sounds like it would be so good lol! For the dried tofu, you can:
1.freeze some firm tofu, let it melt and drain the liquid
2.freeze a second time let it melt and drain the liquid.
3.dry off the tofu which should be spongy now.
4. Cut into cubes and fry until golden.
Hopefully it will be a close enough substitute!
Happy cooking!
@@TomodachiTable you must be a skill and experienced chef! Now i know the trick
You must try laksa penang (asam laksa)
Thank you for the recommendation, we definitely must try it!
Love your videos!
Thank you so much! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!
That looks so delicious. You guys did a great job.
Thank you so much! We enjoyed it a lot!
Awesome effort guys. It's not easy to cook laksa, and you successfully made it!
Thank you so much! It was a challenge but very well worth it!
Dangggg... You guys are beast!!! 4 hours job paid off! Me? 40 minutes, I'll die starving... Good job guys!
Haha we got so hungry waiting for the soup to simmer but we knew we had to wait!
Thank you so much!
Subs done bros! Wish you all the best!
Thanks so much!
Awesome guys! You guys can really cook..the food looks good..great actually...😁👍
Thank you so much! We really wanted to try our best for such an iconic dish!
Gosh they really make it!! U are wonderful ✨
Thank you so much! We really wanted to try it!
Look sedap(delicious)
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed it!
6:57 i knew when Eric chose the Tofu Puff, he will finally understand what FOOD ORGASM means....🤭
It was certainly quite the experience. The way those tofu puffs soak up flavor is amazing!
@@TomodachiTable They're like little sponges of soup xp
Haiyaa... Now I'm craving for laksa even more now.
Definitely wanting more, even though we just ate it! Haiyaaaa....
You guys nailed it...💯
Thank you so much, it was a bit difficult but worth the effort!
Well done. Now you are more malaysia than me 👍. Btw hi from Malaysia and I think this Friday I will also try cook this laksa nyonya recipe 🤗. Try cook ' chicken rendang ' next and I think chef wan make a video how to cook chicken rendang. In Malaysia, chicken rendang is malay dish that we always eat when we celebrate Hari Raya but all malaysian wether they are malay, indian, chinese they love it. ☺️
Hahah, we hope we do our Malaysian tomodachis proud with our attempt at Laksa!
Do let us know how yours turns out! We couldn't believe how tasty this was!
We definitely want to explore more rendang recipes as well, so chicken rendang could be a great one to try next, thank you for the suggestion!
I never knew we have a lot of ingredients...looks like out common in house ingredients and we never prep...we just cut and cook along the way so i never actually see how much everything actually is...but after every cook is very tiring for sure 😅
Yes, many of these ingredients are quite difficult to get a hold of in Japan, so it is not very common for us, but we wanted to do our best when making something as iconic as Laksa! It really takes a lot of preparation doesn't it?
Thank you for sharing your experience!
@@TomodachiTable and you guys did a great job! Now i crave it as well 🤣
@@LeeeeyesThank you so much! Laksa bringing the world together! haha
Looks good yummyy
Thank you so much! This was so good. Really appreciate Chef Wan’s recipe.
wow this is awesome guys!
Thanks so much!!
Chef Wan is Masterchef
BRAVO!!!
Thank you so much! We had a lot of guidance and tips from everyone here!
When i saw the title, instantly subscribed 😁😁😁😁
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed making this! ☺️
@@TomodachiTable i always have a soft spot for foreigner trying to cook malaysian foods even though they are not in malaysia right now...it feels like you are one of us...keep it up guys!!!.. 100% support from me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh god.. I never cook laksa.. After watch ur video im gonna cook that.. Sedap sangat (so delicious)... 🤤🤤
Good luck, we are sure you will do great! It was really tasty!
Thank you for stopping by!
There’s instant ramen version of this laksa. Its called MAMEE CHEF curry laksa. i would say the broth is quite similar with addition of coconut,dried shrimp and the rempah used. Its more of the premium ramen tier.
We simply must try to find some to try! Thank you!
I think mamee chef curry laksa has modified their original recipe.taste not similar as in early days..i tried other brand white curry laksa...and yes there's smell of dried shrimps that enhance the taste..
I actually recommend thick udon noodles as a suitable substitute for actual laksa noodles. There's a hawker stall I went to that sells "Laksudon". Laksa with udon noodles.
With udon sounds really nice, yummy! Thank you for the suggestion!
@@TomodachiTable Actually, since you can find rice vermicelli, you should try finding a recipe for "soto ayam". It's a chicken stock-based broth eaten with different types of noodles and also a fried potato patty called a "begedel".
Are you guys in Japan. I am surprised that you can find candle nuts. I tried to find it around Bangkok. Almost impossible. I had to buy it through shopee 😂
Yup, we are in Japan. But we are lucky to have lots of international markets here! We found the candle nuts at an Indonesian grocer here! Can’t believe that we found it easier here than Bangkok!
you can put instant ramen noodle
Usually we start by sipping the gravy first to get the taste then only you try everything..
Oh so it is really similar to eating ramen here! Thank you for letting us know!
OMG!! you tried the recipe? i going to try tomorrow
Best of luck! We really enjoyed making it even though it was a lot of work! Be sure to let us know how yours turned out!
Thanks for tuning in!
@@TomodachiTable I already ate it lol, it damn goood!! But damnn take so much timeeee as i am not good at cooking, even my mother praised me lol!!!!
That’s great! It’s so tasty but takes soooo much time hahah
Wow!!!! To be honest I didn’t expect you guys gonna cook this. You guys basically put me to shame because me myself never cook nyonya laksa. 😂
N yes, there is so many types of laksa in Malaysia depending on the state. My favorite will be Laksa Johor and Laksa Sarawak.
We did not know what an undertaking it would be haha! But we are so glad we tried to make Nyonya Laksa because it was SO GOOD!
We definitely need to try some other kinds of Laksa as well!
Thank you for sharing your favorite ones with us!
Of course is the curry
That's right!
I hope your neighbours wont complaints, because whenever my neighbours cooks dishes that requires long stir fry like rendang or any herbs like lemongrass and sambal involved i can smell inside my house (as Malaysian we understand) but make me hungry because it smells tempting. We always say if the neighbours can smell my cooking i need to share and give them some😆😆
Haha luckily no complaints! However in Tokyo we might be met with suspicion if we show up at our neighbors door with food 😅
Thanks for stopping by!
AAA for effort mang uncle tomodachi🤗🤗🤭🤭
Thank you so much! We wanted to do our best!
👏👏
Thank you! It was a very fun challenge for us!
I just ate it. Oishii 😋
It’s so good!!!! We want more haha!!
@@TomodachiTable good. Should try other Malaysian dishes.
Great 👍👍👍
Thank you! It was a challenge but we wanted to respect the cuisine as much as possible!
omg..uguys are pretty good to cook nyonya laksa..it is not easy recipes..
Thank you so much! It definitely was not easy, but it was very rewarding!
Nice, this kinda laksa are from Melaka Malaysia
Thank you Sunny!
That means we have many more kinds to try! haha!
have you heard of Asam laksa, is other Malaysia dish only in JB sell
Oh yes, it also came up in our research but the sour fruit might be hard for us to find - though we really do want to try it! Thanks for tuning in!
best in JB somesay batam
Asam laksa not only JB sell la.. everywhere in Malaysia also have la...
@@arelya8644 hai ya I never tried any other location, to much place to travel...thank for sharing
@@GigaZX91 no need travel, open youtube or google must have macam-macam asam laksa from diff state.😊hahaha
goshhhh..i'm so hungry
We felt the same way while we were cooking this! Thank you for tuning in!
try Laksa Penang because it's 7th most delicious food in the world listed by CNN
We definitely need to try more Laksa types! Thanks for the suggestion!
😋😋😋😋
Thank you!
Delicious 😋
We really enjoyed it 😋 Thanks for tuning in!
If u use the original coconut milk the flavour will be more yummy..
Definitely true! Unfortunately fresh coconut milk is a bit hard to find here! Thanks for stopping by!
Yummylicious 😋😋😋
So yummylicious! ☺️
😍😍😍
Thank you for watching! It was so delicious!
Next time try to make laksam
Thank you for the suggestion! We will have to do some studying and research!
Please try nasi lemak next. That is malaysia national dish
Oh we definitely want to try doing nasi lemak soon! Thank you for the suggestion!
Every state (mostly) in Malaysia has their own laksa.
Which means there are many more out there we have to try! Thank you for tuning in!
Actually 14 type
14 basic type but multiple variation of each type depends on province you're in.... Each province normally have a very tiny change on the basic recipe as identity.... But not all.....
Tiny change but exquisite and very unique taste....
Set up a restaurant or online food stall for nyonya laksa... Hehehe
Lol! We would be cooking day and night to keep that running!
Thanks for watching!
One of my favourite food. 😉
It might have become one of ours too! Thanks for tuning in 😁
@@TomodachiTable there are more Malaysia food that you guys might enjoy. I feel nice when looking at Eric happy smile when he bite into the tofu.
We are loving all the Malaysian food we’ve tried so far! The tofu soaked up all the flavors and was so good! We think that sometimes, the reaction conveys more than words. We ended up having two bowls haha!
@@TomodachiTable look forward to see more of your cooking and taste testing video.
I want to make this laksa according to how you made it, ‘ cos it looks so yummy. Could you help list all the ingredients and their amounts for us? Also, what chilli sauce were you using to top up the dish at the end ? Thanks!
Sure we can! Please give us a bit of time to write everything up!
The chili sauce at the end is just a jar of sambal!
Thank you for tuning in!
Wow, you manage to get all the ingredients. Did you get it from Veno? When I was staying and working at Tokyo for four years in 1999-2004, Veno market was the place to get all that. And for the laksa, you can use udon too if you cannot find the real laksa. Yes, if the soup is good, then your laksa is oishiik. Ita daki masu!!!
Ueno is definitely a good place to get these ingredients - especially the underground shopping market! However, this time we bought everything from Okubo and Shin Okubo near to Shinjuku!
Udon Laksa sounds quite tasty too! Itadakimasu!!
OMG, I forgot the spelling of the place. Yes, Ueno.
yes, i know Shin Okubo and Okubo. I worked at NHK and used to stay at Shibuya-ku for two years and in Itabashi- ku after two years to experience travelling by trian to work. Love staying in Tokyo. Great experience. I am now back to Malaysia.
Wow! That’s such a wonderful experience you had! Thank you for sharing it with us! Did you have any favorite Malaysian restaurants here in Tokyo?
I have my fav Japanese restaurant not Malaysian in Shibuya. But I forgot the name. I love sushi, udon and tempura. I remember one Indian resraurant that we used to go. The nun was oishik.
